Courtney Doi will share the story of her grandmother, Judith Klein, who left Berlin, Germany, on the Kindertransport in December 1938, just after Kristallnacht. Judith's father, grandmother, two aunts, and two of her siblings died in concentration camps. Featuring old family photographs and firsthand accounts from her grandmother's writing, Doi will explore both Judith's journey out of Germany as a teenage refugee and her extended family's experiences across Europe during the war. In addition, Doi will discuss her own travels back to Germany to further understand her family history and how we, as individuals, can work to prevent genocide in the future. Doi is a member of the North Carolina Council on the Holocaust.
